i have been really busy over the last couple of weeks making a mini scrapbook of my hols to spain, why does it take soooo long. anyway that done normal business will now be resumed!

i went to guildford on fri (rained all day) and visited the bead shop there, i brought some lovely flat green stones.

vicky at work has just started beading and thinks you should only buy beads one project at a time. . . . good idea in theory.

so i decided to try it and made something with the beads i had just brought.

actually it worked quite well, but it was a simple design. i decide to try some wire wrapping with some wire i had already, i really just wrapped the wire around randomly. then i joined the beads together with wire rings and crystals. i was quite pleased with the bracelet, and just had enough to make a pair of matching earrings as well.

the only problem now is that i have about 10 years of unused 'stuff' to use up.

i had another table top sale at the weekend, it went quite well, i think we had more people through the door this time.

i made some pretty button brooches, mostly using covering buttons, clover yoyo makers and flower sequins. the blue one and the browny one have fused angelina fibres on the top. i enjoyed making these and i will beexperiment with different patterns and fabrics. keep you posted. . .

MY ETSY SHOP

This thing in my head

i worked part time at a local department store . . in the craft dept of course, they payed me to play with and sometimes even sell lovely craft stuff. i love to try new techniques and experiment with everything crafty. Since my diagnosis of a brain tumour I haven't been doing very much Obviously , but now I'm home on paillliative care
I might have more energy to do more if I'm allowing too that is.
Don't seem to be able to consent rate on my complicated tank top pattern for kilian though so the question is whether or not to be the same as the back pattern make the front differently
